Pools that fit Waldsanger's acreage homesites.

Waldsanger is an Ashton Woods community of spacious Hill Country acreage homesites just off TX-46, giving homeowners room most subdivisions can't match — and a pool site with real design flexibility.

Every Waldsanger pool we build is engineered to its exact lot, rolling grade, and setback lines, approved through the community's design guidelines where required, and finished in durable PebbleTec.

Built by two brothers and career firefighters, J. Oliver Pools brings the same accountability to every Waldsanger project. Entry custom pools here start around $60,000, with signature builds between $75,000 and $150,000.

Acreage homesites open up options a tighter lot never allows — longer sightlines, room for a larger pool and separate spa, and space to add an outdoor kitchen or pavilion without crowding the yard.

Living Here

One of New Braunfels' newest acreage-homesite communities.

Waldsanger is a newer Ashton Woods community set off TX-46, built around spacious acreage homesites in the rolling Hill Country north of town — a rarer setup than the tighter lots common in most master-planned neighborhoods closer in.

Larger lots mean every Waldsanger project starts with a full site survey — rolling grade, drainage direction, well and septic locations, and setback lines — before drawing a single pool shape, so the design uses the extra room instead of just centering a standard footprint in the yard.

Because many homesites are on private well and septic rather than municipal utilities, we confirm those locations early and route equipment pads, plumbing, and electrical well clear of the septic field — a step that's easy to miss without local experience.

As a newer community, Waldsanger carries builder design guidelines for pools and outdoor structures. We confirm current requirements and manage the submittal, so approval doesn't stall a build timeline.

The open, rolling terrain that makes Waldsanger's homesites feel private also means less natural shade than an established, tree-lined lot — so shade structures, pergolas, and covered patios are a bigger part of most pool designs here than in older neighborhoods.

Longer driveways and setback distances on acreage lots also mean more careful equipment and material staging during construction, so we plan access routes up front to protect landscaping and keep the build on schedule.

Buyers choosing Waldsanger are drawn to its space and privacy, and a pool designed to use that room well — rather than a modest footprint sized for a typical subdivision lot — tends to match the property's character and support its long-term value.

The Process

From first sketch to first swim in Waldsanger.

Site visit and survey. We map rolling grade, well and septic locations, and setback lines before sketching a design, so the pool uses the extra acreage well.

Design and submittal. We confirm current community design guidelines, then prepare and submit the complete package on your behalf.

Permitting and construction. Excavation and equipment staging are planned around the longer driveway and setback distances typical of acreage homesites, followed by gunite, decking, and finish work.

Startup and first swim. We balance water chemistry, walk you through care for a well-fed pool where applicable, and stay available for service long after handoff.
